Instead, it is treated as a large object on the battlefield. It comes with wheels to facilitate relocation, but it is still cumbersome. A character using a ballista can move it when they move, but their speed is halved.

“ | The HC-Class 'Ballista' is a heavy tank designed to obliterate opposition defenses with its 250mm Hades Mortar Cannon. | „ |
— In-game description |
The Siege Tank (HC-7 aka the 'Ballista') is a Colonial Exclusive late-game combat vehicle. This vehicle is armed with a 250mm petard mortar, which is designed for taking down any structure at a safe range. The Siege Tank requires a crew of 3 to operate. Its mortar has a 25m range. It should be noted that although the caliber of the tank's primary weapon is impressive, it is designed to engage structures, not enemy vehicles or infantry. It is out ranged by tanks, allowing enemy armor to simply open fire on the Ballista with impunity so long as they keep their distance. And although the gun's caliber is impressive, it is generally ineffective against infantry. More importantly, firing such expensive shells at infantry is probably a waste of valuable resources. This vehicle is designed to break up enemy static defenses to allow for an infantry push. It excels at this task, but it is otherwise in danger of being overrun by enemy infantry or destroyed by enemy tanks.

Crew Roles[edit | edit source]
Driver[edit | edit source]
The driver is in control of positioning the vehicle. In the Siege Tank, this allows them to control when and how to commit the vehicle to combat. They also frequently have to adjust the facing of the tank to allow the mortar, whose weapon has a 60-degree arc to the front of the vehicle, to fire at targets.

The driver is the only crew member who can see the fuel gauge without leaving the vehicle and should carefully monitor its prodigious consumption.
Petard Mortar[edit | edit source]
D Jd F
The tank's primary weapon is a petard mortar with a max range of 20m. The gunner is in charge of aiming and firing this massive weapon.
Tank Spotter[edit | edit source]
The commander/spotter can use binoculars to see further than the other crew members and provide coordinates for the main gunner to fire. He can also use a secondary fire arms (like the Revolver)) from the cupola with extreme accuracy and can use this to prevent infantry from closing with the tank from the sides.
Like on other Tanks, the commander/spotter is exposed and can be shot at and killed. However, he can close the hatch for protection.
Of utmost importance is keeping track of the location of enemy Battle Tanks, which are the greatest single threat to the survival of the Ballista.

A relatively recent addition to the Colonial arsenal, the HC-7 or 'Ballista' is a specialized tank fitted with a front-facing mortar cannon designed to level structures with ease. Built on the bones of the smaller but proven H-series chassis, the HC series of tanks brings improved armour, more reliable treads along with the formidable 250mm short-barreled Hades mortar.
The team behind the Ballista operated out of the Velian capital of Damokratos. This intrepid young crew apprenticed under the engineers responsible for the L-series or 'Lance' battle tank, earning invaluable experience. One intrepid mechanic by the name of Dell'oro Ricci noted the H-series' inability to directly tackle defense structures and would often fall behind or suffer significant damage, thus identifying a gap in the Colonial arsenal.

The Ballista has since become a staple in the Legion's feared armour division and-living up to its namesake-lays siege to our enemies before they know what hit them.
